Monday... Remembering can have such an impact on our life.



Psalm 105:5 (NLT), "Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given."

Monday... Remembering can have such an impact on our life.

One of the great benefits of doing what I do five days a week is that I can always look back and remember. I have written three different blogs over 25 years so I can always go back and read what I had learned from reading the Bible and also one of them was thoughts from books that I was reading. One was Bill's Front Porch, another was Just Continue That Thought and then this one, Todays Beginning. I also have notebooks where I have put each chapter of the book of the Bible that I had read on that particular day. Today it says, Psalm 105, Proverbs 15 and 1 Peter 3. Yes, remembering can have such an impact on our life. I have found it to be true.


Now Psalm 105:5 (NLT), says something that is so very important. It says, "Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given." The Message says, "Remember the world of wonders he has made, his miracles, and the verdicts he has rendered." Yes, remembering can have such an impact on our life.

Verse 1 (NLT) says, "Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done." That is always a great way to start our day.

Thanks comes from remembering what God has done in your life yesterday and even right now. That really give us confidence. And then it makes such a difference in other's lives when we tell them what God has done in our life. It can definitely make a difference for them in what they are going through to know there is someone who has what it takes to handle what they are going through.

Verse 3 (AMP) says, "Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek and require the Lord [as their most essential need] rejoice." Remembering that the Lord is our most essential need is so important. He definitely is that. Remember what it was like when you didn't seek him, when he wasn't your most essential need, when you thought no matter what I am going through, I can handle it? But did you? Maybe that is why we are in the mess that we are in because we were striving to do it on our own.

He goes on, verses 4-5 says, "Seek and deeply long for the LORD and His strength [His power, His might]; Seek and deeply long for His face, and His presence continually. Remember [with awe and gratitude] the wonderful things which He has done, His amazing deeds and the judgements uttered by His mouth [on His enemies, as in Egypt]." And the writer goes on in Psalm 105 and remembers what happened to the children of Israel in and their escape from Egypt.

Yes, remembering can have such an impact on our life if we seek and deeply long for the Lord and His strength by remembering what He has done and the rulings He has given. I am so glad that I remember that I serve a God who has made and will make a difference in my life. Yes, yes! #todaysbeginning

Monday... He did it by Himself

Isaiah 44:24b (AMP), "I am the Lord, Maker of all things. Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself." Monday... He did it by Himself. Many have a tendency to think very highly of themselves and what they can do. Oh we do have great ability but we are not the source. Yes it is important to have self-confidence but we are limited. The prophet Isaiah in 44:9-10 (NLT) says, "How foolish are those who manufacture idols. These prized objects are really worthless. The people who worship idols don't know this, so they are all put to shame. Who but a fool would make his own god - an idol that cannot help him one bit?" Now later in verse 24 (AMP) he writes, "For the Lord, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb says, 'I am the Lord, Maker of all things, Who alone stretches out the heavens, Who spreads out the earth by Myself.'" I love that. "By Myself." Now we do need confidence but we are foolish to ma...

Friday... We have this hope of expectancy.

Psalm 5:3 (NLT), "Listen to my voice in the morning Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly." Friday... We have this hope of expectancy. Now David found a great way to start his day. He says in Psalm 5:1-3 (NLT), "O LORD, hear me as I pray." And that is a great place to start. It really is. Morning sunrise He goes on, "Listen to my cry for help, my King, my God, for I pray to no one but you." And that is so important. We don't try to pump ourselves up by ourself. No, we pray to no one but you, God, my LORD, my King. Now this relationship with God is so, so very important. And then David says, "Listen to my voice in the morning, LORD. Each morning I bring my requests to you" And that is so great. And then he says, "and wait expectantly." Yes, we have this hope of expectancy. We are experienced. That is what a relationship with God and a moment by moment connection does. It makes a difference in our daily wa...

Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true.

Psalm 12:6 (NLT), "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." Friday... Yes, we can know this to be true. Maybe this is what you want to say in this day in which we live. Psalm 12:1-2 (MSG) says, "Quick, I need your helping hand! The last decent person just went down, all the friends I depend on gone. Everyone talks in lie language; lies slide off their oily lips. They doubletalk with forked tongues." Do you ever feel that way?" Have you found that to be true? Well David the writer of this Psalm continues and says in verse 6 something to encourage us, to lift us up, to give us hope. Psalm 12:6 (NLT) says, "The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over." The Message Paraphrase says verses 6-8 this way, "God's words are pure words, pure silver words refined seven times in the fires of his word-kiln, pure on earth as well as in heaven, God, keep ...
